TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and 

comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-

tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load, 

while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with 

the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

OPERATION

SERVICE REMINDER/HOUR METER

Service reminder shows the total number of hours the 

engine has run and flashes to indicate that the engine 

or mower needs servicing. When service is required, the 

service reminder will flash for two hours. To service engine 

and mower, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

NOTE

: Service reminder runs when the ignition key is in 

any position but "STOP". For accurate reading, be sure 

key remains in the "STOP" position when engine is not 

running. 

TO TRANSPORT (See Fig. 14)

When push ing or tow ing your trac tor, be sure to disengage 

transmission by placing freewheel control in free wheel ing  

po si tion.  Free wheel control is located under the seat.
• 

Raise attachment lift to highest position with at tach ment 

lift control. 

• 

Raise seat and pull freewheel control up and back into 

the slot and release so it is held in the disengaged 

position.

•  Do not  push or tow tractor at more than two (2) MPH.
•  To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.

NOTE

:  To protect hood from damage when transporting 

your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed 

and secured to tractor.  Use an appropriate means of tying 

hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

TRANSMISSION ENGAGED

TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED

ADD GASOLINE 

•  Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.  

Use fresh, clean, regular un lead ed gasoline with a 

minimum of 87 octane.  (Use of  leaded gasoline will 

increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce 

valve life).  Do not mix oil with gasoline.  Purchase fuel 

in quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure 

fuel freshness.

CAUTION:  Wipe off any spilled oil or 

fuel.  Do not store, spill or use gasoline 

near an open flame.

IMPORTANT:

  WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 

32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GAS O LINE 

TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER START ING.

CAUTION:  Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol 

or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture 

which leads to sep a ra tion and for ma tion of acids 

during stor age.  Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-

tem of an engine while in storage.  To avoid engine 

problems, the fuel system should be emptied before 

stor age of 30 days or longer.  Drain the gas tank, 

start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and 

carburetor are empty.  Use fresh fuel next season.  

See Storage In struc tions for ad di tion al information.  

Never use engine or car bu re tor cleaner products in 

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor  has been shipped, from the 

factory, already filled with sum mer weight oil.  
•  Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.  
• 

Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the 

dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds, 

remove and read oil level.  If necessary, add oil until  

“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached.  Do not overfill.

•  For cold weather operation you should change oil for 

easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the 

Maintenance sec tion of this manual).   

•  To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in 

this manual.
